DISH-BASIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,250, dated November9, 1886.

' Application filed May 26, 1885. Serial No. 166,720. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL LUMBERT, of Oentreville, in the county ofBarnstable and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new andusefulImprovement in Dish-Basins, which improvement is fully set forth in thefollowing specification and accompanying drawings, in Which Figure 1 isa perspective View of my improved dish-basiu, and Fig. 2 is.aperspective view of the draining-receptacle. Fig. 3 is a detail view incentral section.

The present invention relates to improvements in the class of articlesknown as dishbasins, wherein, on one'side, at the top, I provide asegmental-shaped receptacle having a perforated bottom opening into thedish-basin to receive therein the dishes after being washed, and thusact as a drainer. At the forward end of this draining-receptacle asoap-receptacle is provided.

In theaccompanying drawings, A represents an ordinary dish-basinprovided with theusual handles,B. On each side and rearwardly there fromI provide a draining-receptacle, O, preferably segmental in form, withthe outer side, D, at its lower edge contracted to such a size as torest within the upper part of the basin A, or rabbeted at its loweredge, as shown in Fig. 2, for the same purpose, and inclining somewhatoutwardly at about the same angle as the sides of the said pieces. Theforward side, E, also inclines forwardly somewhat,and is secured at theends F in any suitable mannor to the sides D of the said receptacle. Thebottom G of this receptacle is designed to be provided with a series ofopenings, -H,therein, and may be formed of an independent piece andsecured to the sides by means of upturned wings I; but I prefer to formthe forward side, E, and the bottom G of one piece.

In order that the water from the dishes may be returned directly to thedish-basin, in addition to the openings H, designed for this purpose,the bottom is inclined upwardly somewhat toward the rear, and thesegmental side of the bottom G, adjoining the side D, instead of beingsolderedtheretofls left open, as shown at g in Figs. 2 and 3, so thatthe water may pass through freely. The forward side, E, of thisdrainingreceptacle is provided with a small receptacle, 1, to receivetherein the soap. 7 I am aware that heretofore a receptacle for washeddishes has been made in crescent shape and mounted on the edge of abasin, and also receptacles having trays with reticulated bottoms havebeen provided for sinks, on which trays the washed dishes are placed.

What I claim is The combination of the draining-receptacle O, segmentalin shape, having inclined sides D, contracted at their lower ends, andfront E, and perforated and inclined bottom'G, cutaway at g, with thedish-basin A, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand,this 13th day of May, 1885, in the presence of witnesses.
